This Is My GlasgowMaryhill Burgh Halls in Glasgow. Built around 1878, it was designed in a Dutch Renaissance style by Duncan McNaughtan. This building is now part of a local community centre.

An unusual view of the Maryhill Locks in the northwest of Glasgow. Part of the Forth and Clyde Canal, the locks were constructed in the 1780s. They're currently been worked on, so one of the basins is now empty of water, giving a change to see parts of them you'd never usually get to see. I bet there's some interesting stuff hidden in all that mud!
The original building of East Park School in the Maryhill area of Glasgow. The blonde building with the bay wndows is part of the converted cottage where William Mitchell founded the East Park Home for Infirm Children in 1874, while the tower seems to be a later addition. Over 150 years later and the site has greatly expanded, but East Park is still providing education and care to children with complex learning requirements.
Love all the gables on this Victorian villa on Sandbank Street in the Maryhill area of Glasgow. It was originally the parsonage for the neighbouring St George's Episcopal Church, which has since been demolished.

Former Soldiers' Home on Maryhill Road in Glasgow. Designed by Malcolm Stark and Rowntree, and built opposite the Wyndford Barracks in the 1890s, it served as a respite house for soldiers and their wives. For a small fee, soldiers could rent a quiet room in this building, and newly wed ones could spend their honeymoon night there. This photo was taken a couple of years ago, and it has largely been lying empty since then.

I love a set of windows which climb a wall with the internal stairs! These are on a former church in the Maryhill area of Glasgow.

This plaque has been around for a while, but I passed it a few times while training for last weekend's Great Scottish Run, and it always makes me smile when I do, so I thought I'd post it again. It's on a wall beside the Maryhill Locks in Glasgow.
